The tandem of face and beard

Beard is always trendy. However, not every man can grow a beard. Furthermore, not everyone is growing the right beard shape to build a decent image. If you have ever had a bad beard growing experience, don’t worry. Prepare your shaving kit and patience, because we are going to investigate the process of choosing a beard.

1. Determine your face shape

People mostly have a round or an oval face shape, but rectangular and oblong faces are not a rare case. It is a bit complicated, though, because we have combinations of shapes and also individual features. It will give much influence on your prospective beard shape choice, but try to define what shape is closer to you. You can also try to compare your own face to celebrities in case you have a bad imagination.

2. Why does it look good or bad?

The primary goal of a beard is to emphasize the individual features of your face. A wrong beard shape will emphasize the disadvantages, while you want to show off the perks of having a certain face. For example, you shouldn’t make an oblong face look even longer. The right choice here is to make it look fuller on the sides. Your own preferences won’t work every time, don’t get upset if your desired beard shape doesn’t work for you.

3. Finally, choosing a beard shape

The paragraph you’ve been looking for. We are going to introduce the general rules, whereas you should try to imagine it on your face and make a decent choice. Starting with the round face, which is the hardest one, the main aim is to obtain a longer bottom with shorter sides. The Imperial or the Verdi shape will work well, as well as the similar ones. A moustache is not obligatory. The Oval face suits mostly any style, so that you can choose even the Bandholz or the Kelly beard. In the case of the square face, it is better to make it look sharper, so the Full Beard or the Ducktail will work just right. The oblong face demands fuller sides, so it is great to choose shapes like the Garibaldi or a Dutch beard. You can go even further with the Mutton Chops, but don’t experiment too much.

Follow these rules to obtain a good result. However, don’t hurry, because choosing growing a beard is a long term process and you don’t want to fail it from the start.
